The Summer 2026 Beehive Magazine
It's HERE! Check out the Summer 2026 edition of "The Beehive!"
In case you haven't read it before, our quarterly magazine is a one-stop shop for County news and resources, volunteer information, community events, and activities for youth and adults.
We'd like to thank our talented community photographers for submitting photos used in the publication, especially Ashley Allison, who’s photo appears on the cover. We never miss a chance to celebrate Gloucester's beauty.
GCPS CTE Program Survey
Gloucester County Public Schools (GCPS) is committed to providing high-quality Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities that prepare students for success in college, careers, and the workforce. As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen and expand these programs, we are seeking input from students, families, staff, and community members.
This survey is designed to gather feedback on awareness of current CTE offerings, perceptions of program value, interest in future programs, and perspectives on expanding these opportunities.
Your responses are confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form.
The survey should take approximately 10–12 minutes to complete.
Drought Warning Advisory in Effect
This advisory is meant to keep people aware of climate conditions, and prepare them to conserve water in case a severe drought sets in.
What does it mean practically? To put it bluntly: it's dry out there.
There are increased fire risks.
Soil moisture conditions are much below normal statewide, and groundwater levels have declined.
Agricultural impacts are widespread throughout Virginia (farmers may become eligible for Farm Service Agency emergency loans)
Most of the Commonwealth is forecasted to see less than a tenth of an inch of rain in the next week.
You can track drought conditions on the DEQ website: https://www.deq.virginia.gov/water/water-quantity/drought
Individual private well users, particularly those who rely on shallow water table wells, may benefit the most from paying attention to drought conditions and conserving water early.
